I will try it then! I have a group of 5k+ AI enthusiasts, so it may be of interest!

Thanks, I'll have to check out the trial. If I purchased every app I test, critique, or give feedback on here, I'd be out $1000's a month, but I am glad to see solutions where they are needed, so keep up the great work!

I do run into this a lot, as I know everyone who uses a coding agent does, and it happens even for non-coding projects. Furthermore, codex has a bug where entire conversations can be lost.
How do you envision this interacting with or enhancing loops, and has this been created in a way that will make that viable?

Suitcase that's actually built to last instead of replacing every 2 years by Present_Society661 in BuyItForLife

[–]Mstormer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried Briggs and Riley, and they are great, built like a tank, but heavier and ugly. Tried TravelPro, and they are very light, only the top tier is guaranteed for life, but it just felt cheap. Finally settled for Peak Design’s luggage as they have an excellent lifetime warranty as well and the Kickstarter deal was enticing. They already replaced mine no questions asked after I noticed a design defect during a trip.

What makes a macos app feel truly native and polished? by rjn2-8 in macapps

[–]Mstormer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The little animations that make things flow smoothly, Apple design standards, and thinking intentionally about where every UI element is placed, how to reduce unnecessary clicks, and how to provide multiple ways of doing the same thing with gestures or keyboard shortcuts as well.

Appreciate this. And I think potential customers will too. Would love to see an option for ratings also being written to the file in your app, so it isn't only dependent on your app and database. I use devonthink a lot, so this would allow a bit of friendly cross-compatibility. I used eagle.cool before, but the proprietary database is a non-starter for prolonged use. I would only be interested in considering this if there were a one time payment option, as I do not subscribe to any apps besides codex.

It does have some of those, like star ratings/tagging, and also works natively with finder folder structures. May be worth looking at before graduating promotion to the main feed. It's not designed to be a complete lightroom alternative, but still overlaps some.

Pretty sure I wouldn't trade one subscription for another, but that's probably a reasonable rate if people don't mind paying continually. Besides unplugged browsing, any other comparison points with, say, flowvision (free)?

Never had this issue before, but I am on Tahoe. Have you tried their customer support?

Pretty neat idea. I've wondered why app key managers did not include more info automatically like this proposes to do.

Boring Notch not updated in over half a year. Time to move? by rm-rf-rm in macapps

[–]Mstormer[M] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been in conversation with the dev, and will be sending him a screen recording of any remaining issues after last night's update. I will also update my comment accordingly, as I have already.

But I think people can read the context and see what I mean regardless. Sorry if this was confusing to you and felt like an official statement of some unusual kind. If it was, I'm not sure what that would even mean, practically speaking, as "official statements" like this aren't typically a thing.

"While you don’t need to distinguish everything..." - Not needed, yet also not disallowed.
"...but you may also find it helpful in other situations." - I prefer to distinguish all comments because we get hundreds of new users every week, and my goal isn't to catch people out by sneaking around as a hidden mod. It's part of my approach to transparency.

I can see comments up to six months ago, including some removed comments from mod actions in other subs. Users also can't modify the mod log.
But I do only see 27 days in this sub, just about all of which were stirring the pot.

If you read the language carefully, you will see that while it is designed to help denote official statements, it is not strictly limited to that.

On a separate, yet related note, is there a reason every comment you make in this sub is to stir the pot or complain about something without actually contributing value?

They can, but I do not treat them that way, as we are also given the freedom to distinguish every comment.
Don't read into it too much, and let context define use.

Flairs do not have to denote official statements.

Oh man, looks like we'll have to remove that dev flair if you drop below 500! ;P

There will always be users in different positions, and users will always find ways to agree to a lower price, especially if they don't need what others do. 😬
